14,35 Increase the percentage of student learning independence show that the
independence of student learning in the lessons of accounting has increased. This indicates that the implementation of cooperative learning type snowball throwing
able to increase student learning independence in the lessons accounting. The results of observations and calculation the percentage of the independence of the
questionnaire score also supported by the results of student learning test t. The following table is paired sample test.
Table 11. Table Paired Sample Test
Based on table paired sample testget score significant 0,000 0,05. This means that there is a difference in student learning independence before the
application of cooperative learning Type Snowball Throwing and after the application of the cooperative learning type of Snowball Throwing with different
average 0,498. Independency increase of student learning on each aspect impact on
improving the independence of the percentage of the average student. The following is a graph an increase in the percentage of the average student learning

Based on the graphic, It can be seen that the implementation of cooperative learning type snowball throwing able to increase student learning
independence in accounting learning. There is an increase student learning independence also impact in improving the students.Student average score has
also increased in 1st cycle and 2nd cycle.
D. Discussion
Kind of classroom election that will exactly affect the success of the achievement of a goal learn. The election of a model of learning not only consider
the purpose of learning, but also consider the material that students are taught and the condition.the model learning would attract the attention of the students, so that
they will have a high spirit to learn. High spirits in self students also will impact either on the success of student learning.
One important aspect to achieve success learn is student learning independence. The independence of student learning is a process that invite
students to do the act of involving independent sometimes one person, maybe 1 group Elaine B. Johnson dalam Ibnu Setiawan, 2008: 152. Students who have
learning independence will have confidence in learning, So that does not depend on others. The students who have to learn to be able to make independent study.
Independent study is active learning activity , that is propelled by a motive controls a competence that had been owned Haris Mujiman, 2007: 1.

The data the research results show that the implementation of cooperative learning type snowball throwing can improve student learning independence. This
is because in the model of learning it includes aspects of learning,That is shown with the action that is performed alone and not the will of others. Step in learning
cooperative type snowball throwing is reading the material, discuss and answered questions. This activity will make students perform the act of based on awareness
of the self, so can increase student learning independence. Beside, step in learning cooperative type snowball throwing could also
improve student learning independence on aspects of makes question and answer a question. This is because affected the implementation of this learning, students
must make question on which papers are rolled up and students who received the throw of paper have to answer this question. Indirectly demanding students to try
to independently make the question and answer questions from the other students.One aspect of the other, to make a ability to think and act as a orisinil,
and of the creative initiatives. The existence of the responsibility of the group in learning cooperative type snowball throwing student learning independence could
also improve on aspects of working with a friend of a group. This is because of the responsibility in each group members make each student should be trying to
full of the initiative to help a friend of one group in order to understand material learned, so able to answer questions from the other students. Students to comply
rules by the time game because teachers limit in every phase of learning activities. The discussion activities, ask questions, and answer the question made
better understanding of material students learned, so will bring confidence in
56
students. The confidence of students will not be easily affected by the students to other people. This will affect when students doing the evaluation. Students who
have high confidence will be doing the evaluation by independent and not depend on others. This shows that with the confidence will make students have learning
independence. The discussion is indicated that learning cooperative type snowball
throwing able to increase student learning independence in terms of indicators read the material and marking that important things, make question, answers
questions and opinions upon said in a discussion, listen to an explanation teachers and discussions with thoroughly, working the case duty, summarizes material
from teachers and discussion, work together with a friend a group, and implement a game with throw questioning and answering.
E. Research Weakness
Research that has been carried out by researchers still have limitations. This is the limitation:
1. The benefits of time in the throw of a ball containing the question and answer the questions less effective because some students who less serious, so that
the use of time learning less effective. 2. Observation only done by 2 an observer so that the results of observations
less maximum.
